A pair of Maine performers said their latest video project stars a rocket car powered by Coke Zero and Mentos.
Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz of Buckfield, who perform as Eepybird, said they built the vehicle from a modified girl's bicycle and a utility trailer holding the propulsion unit, which involves 108 two-liter bottles of Coke Zero and 648 Mentos mints, The Sun Journal (Lewiston, Maine) reported Monday.
The duo said a video of the car in action will be available in 3-D, using the classic red and blue glasses, and 2-D on the Eepybird Web site Tuesday.
The performers said they are being careful not to reveal too much about the video, which was directed by "The Fast & the Furious" director Rob Cohen.
"We set ourselves a distance goal," Grobe said. "We blew right through it."
